Pipestone—This new one from our fruit breeding 
farm appears to be the best Minnesota variety 
for us. The tree grows fast and has the largest 
plum of any we can grow. Think of having plums 
nearly two inches across with a fine flavor and 
you can imagine the pleasure you can have in 
picking and eating them. Good for canning, 3-4 
feet, each $1.40. 
Minnesota No. 101 Plum looks most promising. 
Strong and fast growing hardy tree with fruit 
that can’t be beat. 5-6 ft., each $1.75. 
Ember—The last to ripen, a good keeper, nice 
to have around for eating long after the other 
plums have gone. 3-4 ft., $1.40. 
Cherry-Plum Hybrids 
Compass—The old reliable that always bears a 
crop of good quality for canning. As with all 
trees in this group, it should be grown in’ bush 
form, let them branch out close to the ground. 
3-4 ft. each $1.40. 
Sapa—The standard of quality in its class. Dark 
purple all the way through, about one inch in di- 
ameter. Swell for jam. Each $1.40. 
Oka—Large, purple flesh, the best for eating. 
Ripens early. 3-4 ft., $1.40. 
Opata—Green flesh, good for eating and cCan- 
ning. Hardiest of its group. Each, $1.40. 
Korean Cherry—Another Minnesota development 
that is gaining attention fast. It is a dwarf bush 
3 to 4 feet and a good ornamental. The cherry 1s 
very good for canning’, 12-18 inch, 2 for $1.25. 
Currants 
Cascade—Just lately introduced by the Minnesota 
station. High quality, large fruit, 2-year bushes, 
each 55c. 
Red Lake—Has now become the nation’s stan- 
dard. Large berries on a strong busn, a very 
reliable bearer. Should be more widely grown, 2- 
year plants, each 55 cents. 
Gooseberries 
Pixwell—The introduction of this variety by 
Prof. Yeager of North Dakota did a great deal 
to encourage the growing of gooseberries, Be- 
cause of the long stems on the berries they are 
easy to pick. The berries are large and of the 
best quality, fine for pie, jam,. sauce, and a de- 
light to eat fresh. Dark pink when ripe. Heavy 
two-year grade, 90 cents postpaid, 3 for $2.40; 
two-year No. 1, 75¢ each, 3 for $2.00; one-year, 
each 50c, 5 for $2.00.
